I can shed some light on this and I absolutely believe it. I am one of those "silver fox" guys who has no problem dating women half my age (I am 40ish, don't panic) and there are no shortage of girls that age range into guys my age range.
I always find it interesting to ask them why they are into guys like me? I mean I am less "George Clooney" and more "Middle Earth Dwarf" in terms of looks and build, but I always seem to have a harem of 6 or 7 of them I am seeing casually any any given time.
They all come back with the same answers. The guys their age are whiny, emotionally needy, effeminate, and generally no fun to be around. They gave up on guys their old age because we older guys are the opposite of all that, and they love it.
So yeah, you have multiple male generations now, who have been raised by feminists and there is an increasingly smaller pool of them who are able to break the conditioning. The rest end up sexless, miserable virgins who just think they are so because they aren't being ENOUGH of a "nice guy" when in reality everything they have been told about the way women are, is wrong, and taught by angry, sexually and emotionally dysfunctional cat ladies.
